Persol Forte® Cream 30g/1.05oz

Persol Forte cream is a greaseless medication specifically created for acne vulgaris treatment that contains Benzoyl Peroxide 10% and Sulphur 5%. 10 Benzoyl Peroxide cream is an acne medication is a uniquely potent formula that goes to work immediately, releasing the medicine deep into the pores where pimples start. This maximum strength Benzoyl Peroxide 10 percent acne medication is the same prescription formula recommended by doctors.

10 Benzoyl peroxide treats acne in three ways: by killing bacteria, peeling away dead skin cells and drying excess skin oil/sebum. Benzoyl peroxide is most effective in getting rid of the dirt accumulated to clear up the pores. Benzoyl peroxide works as a peeling agent. It increases skin turnover, clearing pores and reducing the bacterial count (specifically acnes) as well as acting directly as an antimicrobial.

Sulphur/Supfur is a time-tested, gentle acne fighter, which acts like a sponge to draw oil out of blocked pores and kill acne bacteria.

Active ingredients description

Benzoyl Peroxide 10% – this medication is used to treat mild to moderate acne and acne vulgaris. It may be used in combination with other acne treatments. When applied to the skin, benzoyl peroxide works by reducing the amount of acne-causing bacteria and by causing the skin to dry and peel.

Apply benzoyl peroxide to the areas of your skin affected by acne. Avoid getting this medication into your eyes, inside your nose or mouth, or on any areas of broken skin since it may cause irritation. If this occurs, flush the area with plenty of water. Benzoyl peroxide may bleach hair or fabrics. Use carefully, and avoid contact with hair, clothing, and furnishings.

Side-effects of 10 Benzoyl peroxide is not severe. Skin reactions such as peeling, itching, irritation, and reddened skin may occur, especially at the start of treatment. If any of these effects persist or worsen, tell your doctor promptly. You may need to apply smaller amounts of the drug or use it less often. Consult your doctor for more details. If your doctor has directed you to use this medication, remember that he or she has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects. Many people using this medication do not have serious side effects.

Sulfur 5% – as a topical acne treatment, sulfur works similarly to benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid. But unlike these other acne-fighting ingredients, sulfur tends to be gentler on your skin. Sulfur helps dry out the surface of your skin to help absorb excess oil (sebum) that may contribute to acne breakouts. It also dries out dead skin cells to help unclog your pores.

Sulfur works best for breakouts that are formed with a combination of dead skin cells and excess sebum. These include milder forms of acne, such as whiteheads and blackheads. Still, it’s important to bear in mind that results can vary between users. It also might work on some breakouts, but not on others. The first step is to determine what type of acne you have. Then you can talk to your dermatologist about whether sulfur is right for you.

Acne types guide:

Mild: Whiteheads and blackheads: classified as noninflammatory, whiteheads and blackheads are the mildest forms of acne. They happen when oil and dead skin cells combine and get stuck in your hair follicles. If the clogged pore is open at the top, it’s a blackhead. If the clogged pore has a closed top, it’s a white head.

Sulfur is one OTC acne treatment that can help with whiteheads and blackheads because it targets the two main elements: dead skin cells and sebum. Salicylic acid can also help this form of acne, but if you have sensitive skin you might try sulfur instead.

Moderate: Papules and pustules: papules and pustules are a form of moderate inflammatory acne. Both are formed from a breakdown in pore walls, which makes them susceptible to getting clogged. The pores then harden and can become painful. The main difference between the two is that pustules are larger and have more pus. Pustules also usually have a yellow or white head. Sulfur isn’t a strong enough treatment for moderate acne. Overall, it’s less effective than other acne ingredients, such as benzoyl peroxide.

Severe: Nodules and cysts: severe acne consists of inflammatory nodules and cysts. These develop when your pores become extremely inflamed and irritated. They’re also deeper beneath the skin, which can make them difficult to treat. Severe acne can be painful to the touch, and it can redden and scar over time.

Given the severe nature of nodules and cysts, this form of acne isn’t treatable at home. If you’ve tried benzoyl peroxide in combination with sulfur and haven’t seen results, you’ll need to seek treatment from a dermatologist. They may recommend a prescription such as an antibiotic Clindamycin or a Vitamin A derivative called Tretinoin or isotretinoin (Accutane). Surgery may be needed to remove stubborn cysts.

Scars: if you have a history of acne breakouts, chances are that you might also have a few acne scars. These can range in color and size, but acne scars have one thing in common: They’re difficult to get rid of. Because sulfur dries up and removes dead skin cells, it could — in theory — reduce the appearance of scars too. However, sulfur shouldn’t be your first line of treatment. For stubborn scars, consider a skin-lightening agent, such as hydroquinone, tretinoin or specific scar treatment products.
